TOKYO ZOMBIE FAN ART FROM EOIN MARRON

This weekend I received a lovely piece of Tokyo Zombie fan art by Irish cartoonist Eoin Marron. Eoin is a huge manga nerd like us, and runs the excellent but infrequent Dramatic Japanese Picture blog.

I love his depictions of Tokyo Zombie's cast of weird-ass characters! I think Hanakuma-san would be proud :)

THE KAZUO UMEZU HOUSE... LIVES!

Here is an awesome and ridiculous piece of Umezz fan art from RootStudio (a contributor to The Illustrated Hall of Dark Lords in Electric Ant #1)!


"The real reason Kazuo Umezu's neighbors didn't want him to build that house."

Hope everyone has a Watchmantastic weekend! (Our SF comics crew is seeing it tonight at 10:45pm)

MORE DEVILMAN FAN ART

Here are two more pieces of Go Nagai fan art by my new friend and master-crafter Mickey Zacchilli. She recently completed a piece for Electric Ant that has totally floored us... I'm so geeked to include it! (And come the first weekend of November, we will finally debut the stupid book at APE!)

ALL ZOMBIES, ALL THE TIME

Thanks for all the great entries so far! Less than four hours left to post your submission-- I'll be deciding the two (three?) winners tonight and posting in the morning.

Meanwhile, here are three new exciting pieces of Tokyo Zombie news to report:

+ Tokyo Zombie feature column on io9! Over at Gawker's Science Fiction blog, io9, columnist Lisa Katayama (of TOKYOMANGO fame) has written a great introduction to both our book and the Sakichi Sato film. For the article, Lisa interviewed me earlier this week about the manga.



Take a look at the article here, and feel free to comment about how badass the manga is :)

+ Tokyo Zombie review in the new issue of Giant Robot! In the latest issue (#55), Eric Nakamura wrote a great little summary and plug for the book :)



+ Fujio fan art by Mickey! Fan art superstar Mickey Zacchilli enjoyed Tokyo Zombie and decided to treat us with an original illustration. I, for one, am totally flattered and impressed. Hope you enjoy it too:

UMEZU & GO NAGAI FAN ART!

Since our last post of Umezu fan art, I've come across two new pieces of horror manga fan art to drool over... These are both recent illustrations by two good friends of Same Hat, and are basically too weird/rad to pass up.

1) Kazuo Umezu's Cat Eyed Boy by illustrator/RISD student (and winner of the 1st annual SH 4-koman contest) Sophia:


2) Go Nagai's Devilman by cartoonist and screen-printing wizard Michaela Colette (that's Mickey to you, buster!):

CAT EYED BOY FAN ART by MICKEY

This badass fan art was done by Providence artist and cartoonist Michaela Colette (AKA Mickey)! She attended RISD and knows our buddy Monika from Tokyo-- I wasn't smart enough to get her in to Elecric Ant #1, but hope to trick her into the second issue in some capacity.

In addition to seeing this Umezu homage online, I recently ordered some of her stuff and recommend you check out her comics (for starters). You have to try to score her book "Bullshit Frank & Gorilla Joe" which is frentic and wild, and thoroughly enjoyable (Only 3 copies left according to the site).



I also got a shirt she designed, which you can check out and buy via her site (if you want to like totally copy my "style" ahem ahem):
